The U.S. Supreme Court today decided not to hear a case involving a wedding photographer who refused to take photos of a same-sex wedding. The decision means the ruling by New Mexico's Supreme Court, which went against the photo studio, will stand. The state has anti-discriminatory laws, under which this case fell. The head of the photo studio said they would be disobeying God if they photographed a same-sex wedding.
